YouTube Video & 3D Animation Production

About the project

3D Character Animator & YouTube Video Production Partner We are launching Work Smarter AI, a YouTube channel featuring practical AI tools and productivity tips, hosted by TOBY, our custom-designed 3D animated tiger character. We are seeking a freelancer or small production team to complete Episode 1, with the potential for an ongoing weekly partnership. WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE - Completed Blender 3D character with body and facial rigging - Episode 1 script and prepared voiceover - Established visual identity, music and sound effects WHAT WE NEED The completed YouTube episode will be approximately 8–10 minutes long. This does NOT mean 8–10 minutes of 3D animation. TOBY appears only in selected scenes, such as the introduction, transitions, demonstrations, and closing. The remaining video uses screen recordings, graphics, text, and supporting visuals. The production partner must animate TOBY using our existing Blender rig, handle character movements and lip-sync, create or integrate supporting visuals, assemble the complete episode, and deliver a polished 1080p YouTube video ready for publication. We want strong visual quality through a practical and efficient workflow, not Pixar-level animation or an extensive animation library before Episode 1. BUDGET Our target is $150–$200 for the complete episode, including character animation and full video assembly. We are interested in sustainable weekly production after Episode 1. PLEASE INCLUDE 1. Examples of relevant character animation and finished YouTube videos. 2. Your fixed price for the complete episode. 3. Your estimated turnaround time and capacity for future weekly episodes. 4. Confirmation that you handle complete video assembly, not animation alone. 5. Any additional materials or tasks you require from us. The character is already built and rigged. We are not seeking new character modeling.
